Although the picture above claims to be of a big freeze in 1911 it's far more likely to be from March 1848 when the Falls actually went dry for a few days when an ice dam formed on Lake Erie.
Most probably both the picture above and the one below are from 1886 when, so it is claimed, more than a million people visited the Niagara Falls to see this extremely rare sight. Both of these photographs were originally issued as postcards.
Now, doesn't that make the Summer feel a little warmer!
